Have you seen what we’re capable of? If not, we’d love a chance show you. Because when you’re in the printing services, it’s a major point of pride.
We want to show you that we have the versatility to meet your needs and deliver that all-important “wow factor” every time with high quality printing.
Whether you’re looking to produce large volumes, or highly customized short runs, we can come up with a print solution that perfectly balances economy and showstopping quality.
Now, let’s dig into our capabilities and the advantages they can provide to your business.
Offset printing – Complex specs? High volumes? No problem.
What exactly is offset printing? Simply put: It’s that classic “ink-to-paper” process that printing companies are best known for.
Offset printing is where an inked plate is used to transfer – or “offset” – an image onto a blanket or rubber roller, and then onto different media substrates, such as paper, cardboard, and plastic.
At Ampersand, we use the latest offset printing technology to ensure excellent colour fidelity and an impeccable finish that meets the most exacting standards.
Our 40-inch offset printing press can run at speeds of up to 16,000 sheets an hour, which enables us to tackle your highest volume jobs and hit deadlines without breaking a sweat. Plus – a fully automated print control system continuously monitors quality and colour and makes adjustments as needed.
To sum up: If you’re looking to cost-effectively produce large quantities and need the most consistent image quality possible, offset printing is the solution for you.
Digital printing – Make your small-run project a home run.
First - what is digital printing? It’s where digital images – like .pdf files – are directly transferred onto a wide variety of media substrates. Digital printing eliminates the need for inked plates and rollers, which means little-to-no setup time, and shorter turnarounds.
Another key feature? Digital printing gives you the flexibility to customize (and personalize) each printed piece to better connect with your audience.
In situations where you’re doing split runs, re-prints and smaller quantities, digital printing is an excellent option.
All that efficiency and quickness doesn’t come at a cost to print quality, either. Our cutting-edge, six-colour digital press technology produces stunning, detailed images that are nearly indistinguishable from offset prints.
We can even incorporate sophisticated finishing options, like digital spot glass and metallic ink, to give your short-run projects maximum stopping power.
